Gordon Beeferman’s Imaginary Band
06.21.09 | 8PM
Issue Project Room, Brooklyn, NY
Music for an IMAGINARY BAND is a (real) 7-piece group led by Gordon Beeferman and comprised of some of New York’s most uniquely creative musicians. The band straddles the fertile and still not-totally-charted territory where classical ‘new-music,’ jazz and free improvisation intersect. Beeferman’s compositions range from the gnarly to the operatic, and are both incredibly detailed and very free; the band’s intensive improvisational explorations are tethered to highly structured frameworks.
